Team: 2022-23 Winnipeg Jets

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 3, 2023

Published: Jan. 3, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I have Heinola staying with the big club when the team is fully healthy. Heinola has been exceptional in the past 2 games. Samberg might need some time in the AHL as he has looked pretty bad over the last many games. With 3 pure offensive d men (Pionk, Heinola, and Schmidt) plus Morrissey (who this year is playing an excellent 2-way game), I think a Morrissey-Heinola pair might work. Heinola has been playing great on the right side and Morrissey would help his defensive game.

A Perfetti-Scheifele-Ehlers line is what I have wanted to see all season. Perfetti’s vision with Ehlers’ speed and shot, then add in Scheifele who seems to have everything right now. That could be one of the best lines in hockey.


Ideas for the TDL

Before the TDL we need to upgrade the bottom 6 and possibly add another top 6 RWer to play with KC and PLD. With a new top 6 RWer Wheeler can move down to the 3rd line. We could also move a defenseman (Pionk) for a different D man. We need an upgraded DeMelo on the right side that can provide more than 1 goal a year. With a new defensive RHD then the pairs can be JMo-DeMelo, Heinola-New D, Dillon-Schmidt.
